自旋阀多层膜的电化学制备及其巨磁电阻效应

采用双槽控电位电沉积法在n-Si(111)基体上以NiFe 薄膜为缓冲层制备了[Ni80Fe20/Cu/Co/Cu]n自旋阀多层膜, 并确定了电沉积的工艺条件. 利用X射线衍射(XRD)表征了自旋阀多层膜的超晶格结构, 研究了NiFe缓冲层对自旋阀生长取向的影响. 采用四探针法研究了各子层厚度对自旋阀巨磁电阻效应的影响, 通过振动样品磁强计(VSM)测试了自旋阀的磁滞回线. 自旋阀的巨磁电阻(GMR)值最初随着铜层厚度的变化并发生周期性振荡, Cu 层厚度为3.6 nm时, GMR 达到最大值,随后逐渐减小. 随着Co层和NiFe 层厚度的增大, GMR 值的变化趋势均为先增大后减小. 当自旋阀的结构为NiFe(25 nm)/[Cu(3.6 nm)/Co(1.2 nm)/Cu(3.6 nm)/NiFe(2.8 nm)]30时, GMR 值可达5.4%, 对应的磁电阻灵敏度(SV)为0.2%·Oe-1, 饱和磁场仅为350 Oe.     

Dielectric relaxation pattern of dilute colloidal suspensions

An immediate method of analysis of the relaxation characteristics of a colloidal suspension, like of any dielectric, is based on the so-called Cole-Cole representation (imaginary part versus real part) of its complex dielectric constant in a wide frequency range. In this work, we show theoretical plots calculated according to the models developed by DeLacey and White (J Chem Soc Faraday Trans 2 77:2007–2039), and by Rosen et al. (J Chem Phys 98: 4183–4194; this model uses the dynamic Stern layer theory). Both theoretical approaches to the dielectric relaxation pattern of a colloidal suspension are compared to each other, and to experimental data obtained on polystyrene suspensions. Although no significant differences are found between the theoretical predictions of the relaxation patterns (except for the values of the dielectric constant; the DSL model yields higher polarizabilities of the suspensions), none of the models can exactly reproduce the frequency dependence of the dielectric constant of a colloidal system. We propose a modification of DeLacey and White's model to include the possibility that the ionic drag coefficients depend on the ion position in the double layer. The final results show that the general trends of the frequency dependence of the quantities involved are not modified, irregardless of the changes in ionic drag coefficients.     

Polyethers derived from bisphenols and highly fluorinated aromatics

A series of fluorinated aromatic polyethers was synthesized via aromatic nucleophilic substitution of highly fluorinated aromatics (1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene, hexafluorobenzene, and decafluorobiphenyl) with bisphenol AF or bisphenol A. Polymerization with 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene was not observed, and polymerization of hexafluorobenzene with bisphenol proceeded only if the potassium carbonate–bisphenol ratio was carefully controlled. The polymer condensed from decafluorobiphenyl and bisphenol AF was prepared in 77% yield with an inherent viscosity of 1.01 dL/g. The polymer prepared from the condensation of decafluorobiphenyl with bisphenol A was obtained in 48% yield with an inherent viscosity of 0.28 dL/g. These polymers were very soluble in common organic solvents, formed clear, colorless films, and were thermally stable (> 450°C by TGA). The fully fluorinated polymer exhibited low water uptake (0.3%) and dielectric constant (2.17). © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Focussing of submillimeter radiation guided by a dielectric sheet

Guided submillimeter radiation (=118.8 m) has been focussed by inserting a cylinder lens into the freely propagating beam in front of the incoupling prism. The beam profile at the focal spot has been determined experimentally, the results agree with theoretical predictions. The optical quality of the focus is good.

Dielectric and13C NMR studies of sulfur dioxide-hydroquinone clathrates

Dielectric measurements of SO₂ quinol clathrates show that the reorientation of encaged SO₂ molecules is very rapid and depends greatly on the degree of cage occupancy. For a-quinol sample of cage occupancy = 0.57, the reorientation rate was 1 MHz at 6 K, with a reorientational activation energy of 673 J/mol. For a sample identified by¹³C NMR as-quinol, and for a-quinol sample with most cages filled with Xe, SO₂ reorientation rates are even greater, with activation energies of only some tens of J/mol. The low temperature dielectric studies show that some ethanol may be enclathrated in-quinol recrystallized from this solvent. The¹³C NMR spectra confirm the X-ray results that the lattice becomes distorted with increased SO₂ content.Dedicated to Dr D. W.

Structure of microemulsions of AOT and water in dodecane

The dielectric properties of the system water/AOT/dodecane are studied as a function of volume fraction of the dispersed phase and molar ration (water/surfactant). Data shows that the spherical model is valid only at lown values or low values. At high concentrations of dispersed phase, one has to consider micellar aggregation or deformation.     

On the dielectric susceptibility of classical Coulomb systems. II

This paper deals with the shape dependence of the dielectric susceptibility (equivalently defined, in a canonical ensemble, by the mean square fluctuation of the electric polarization or by the second moment of the charge-charge correlation function) of classical Coulomb systems. The concept of partial second moment is introduced with the aim of analyzing the contributions to the total susceptibility of pairs of particles of increasing separation. For a diskshaped one-component plasma with coupling parameter =2 it is shown, numerically and algebraically for small and large systems, that (1) the correlation function of two particles close to the edge of the disk decays as the inverse of the square of their distance, and (2) the susceptibility is made up of a bulk contribution, which saturates rapidly toward the Stillinger-Lovett value, and of a surface contribution, which varies on the scale of the disk diameter and is described by a new law called the arc sine law. It is also shown that electrostatics and statistical mechanics with shape-dependent thermodynamic limits are consistent for the same model in a strip geometry, whereas the Stillinger-Lovett sum rule is verified for a boundary-free geometry such as the surface of a sphere. Some results of extensive computer simulations of one- and two-component plasmas in circular and elliptic geometries are shown. Anisotropy effects on the susceptibilities are clearly demonstrated and the arc sine law for a circular plasma is well confirmed.     

Dielectric constants of acetonitrile, γ-butyrolactone,propylene carbonate,and 1,2-dimethoxyethane as a function of pressure and temperature

The dielectric constants of 1,2-dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, -butyrolactone, and propylene carbonate were determined from capacitance measurements extrapolated to infinite frequency; ln are reported as a function of pressure up to 80 MPa at 15, 25, 35, 45°C and as a function of temperature in the range 10 to 50°C at 0.10133 MPa. The variation of ln with temperature or pressure can be expressed by a second order polynomial expression. The isothermal compressibilities of the solvents were determined at 25°C from sound velocities, densities, and heat capacities. A simple correlation can be established between ln /P and for most aprotic solvent.     

Small angle X-ray and dielectric data of soybean-phosphatidylcholine Phospholipon® 100

Soybean-Phosphatidylcholine Phospholipon^® 100 has a stable gel conformation in the as-prepared state. We observed a main phase transition (chain melting) above 30 °C in the first heating run. This transition is marked 1. by a change of the lamellar repeat distance recorded by small angle X-ray diffraction, and 2. by an increase of the imaginary part of the dielectric constant. After the first heating up to + 90 °C the chains melt in a broad temperature range between –60 °C and +90 °C. The high stability of chain conformation in the temperature range –60 °C to +30 °C of the as-prepared state is due to the low water content of the material.
